One, we get great cashback rewards...and every few months there is a new category where we can get additional cash back.

Two, they are really great about abnormal charges. If there is something that doesn't seem right, they call us to verify. I love that!

Three, ShopDiscover. Not only do I get my cash back for using my card, I can shop through ShopDiscover and get even more rewards. For example, we got an extra 5% cash back when we bought my hubby's new computer online from the Apple Store through shop Discover. I love it!

We usually "save" our cashback bonus to use on something special we both agree on. Sometimes we use it to pay our account, sometimes we get restaurant certificates, etc... There are a ton of options.

Now, I am not suggesting that you go max out your card at ShopDiscover, but if you spend wisely, you can get some great deals...as well as extra cashback bonuses.

For example, this blog "represents entry in the ShopDiscover blog promotion with a chance to win a Discover Gift Card." That is a good deal to me.!!!

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

Well, it has been nine years this very moment since I married my best friend and the love of my life. And I am truly grateful for the journey. Sure there have been ups and downs, but that is what makes us appreciate the mountaintops even more. God has truly blessed me in giving me a good husband who loves me and cares for me (and even does laundry!).

Tim, I love you and I hope we have many, many more anniversaries to come.

I couldn't sleep Friday night, so I woke up at 4 AM. I was trying to decide what to do with the day, and then I decided to take the fam to Norfolk. Tim has been wanting to go there for a while, so I decided that there was no better time than the present...plus our ninth anniversary is Tuesday so it was a good excuse.

We had a great time touring the base and seeing the ships. We also went downtown to the Navy museum and toured the USS Wisconsin.

J got to swim at the hotel, so he was happy. He also got to sleep on a "magic bed" (sofa bed) so he was pretty happy!

We went to church at TRBC via internet. Then we went to VA beach where the boys had a great time playing in the waves until J consumed too much salt water.

We then went to Fort Story and saw the Cape Henry Lighthouses. We climbed up to the top of Old Cape Henry Light. Let's just say that after climbing the stairs to the Eiffel Tower, this was a piece of cake!

It was nice to get away together...so often it seems our only "vacations" are to visit family or with family, so it was nice to be just us. Just wish we could have stayed longer!
